Bicycling for fun and profit

Interested in learning how your local business can make money from bicycle tourism? The groups Parks and Trails New York and the state Canal Corp. are sponsoring a roundtable at 6 p.m. June 3 called “Bicycles Bring Business.” It takes place at the Crandall Public Library, 251 Glen Street in Glens Falls.

This region is now home to the most amount of bike trails in Northeast New York. There’s the Warren County Bikeway, several trails in Saratoga and the Glens Falls Feeder Canal Trail. There’s also work afoot to complete the Champlain Canal Trail and developing other new trails in the area.

The roundtable will discuss the demographics and needs of the bicycle tourist, making communities and businesses more bicycle-friendly, developing infrastructure to accommodate cyclists and marketing to outdoor recreationalists. RSVP at 518-434-1583, extension 206.
